Yale solid brass padlock

I could not get past the mushroom pins in this. The Bogota was the quicker solution.
I'll keep trying to SPP this for learning purposes... and impression a key.
I suspect the keyway takes a Y52 blank based on other Yale padlocks I have.

Nicely done getting it open.

What size is that padlock? With the large pictures, it is hard to imagine a small Y52 fitting in there. More like a Y54. It may just be the size of the pics throwing me off.

The body is about 1-3/4" tall. The keyway is too short for a standard Y1 blank to insert. It has 5 pins. Y54 might be right.
